Build Tool Plugin has no permissions to write in the project directory

[nrgbodya]

I am trying to generate Markdown file with licenses using the Build Tool Plugin. It fails with no-permissions-error. HTML and CSV file generation also doesn't work. Disabling User Script Sandboxing didn't help.

My licenses_plist.yml:

options:
  markdownPath: acknowledgements.md
  force: true

I have created a test project and included it here. I'm using Xcode 16.2.
@vladvlasov256, could you help me with that one?

Hi @nrgbodya!

Please, check the SPM section in the docs:

A few notes regarding your config:

1. The project path is mandatory. xcodeprojPath: "license-plist-test-markdown.xcodeproj" should work for you.

2. I think I never tested markdownPath: ..., looks like it doesn't work. So please removemarkdownPath property from the config. I recommend using prefix: Acknowledgments to have a nice result file name.

The config:

options:
  xcodeprojPath: "license-plist-test-markdown.xcodeproj"
  prefix: Acknowledgments
  force: true

After building the project you can find the output files in the derived data folder:

Plist generation is the first part. When it's done Xcode needs to copy the files to the app build folder. It's also mentioned in the docs.

Do you want to use the result plist in a Settings.bundle? Because I can't find one in your project.

Thanks for your response! Unfortunately removing the markdown path property doesn't help as my app relies on the markdown file

What exactly you are trying to achieve?
